Pupils in English Classes Required to Pay Inclusive Fee
al Beginning of Semester.
In the regular English classes
a new system has been devised
for handling all the literary and
some of the rhetoric books. The
new plan is much easier and
cheaper for the pupils and gives
promise of being a success.
Each pupil pays a fee to his
teacher at the beginning of the
term for the rental of practically all of his English books. Thus
the pupil knows right at the beginning just what the books required in his English course will
cost. A few books, especially
those of the special English
courses, will have to be paid
for; but on the whole, the new
fee system should be a successful one. If the pupils will cooperate with the school in taking care of the texts which they
rent it will undoubtedly serve as
a profitable change to them.

have an enjoyable vacation.
"Miss Study" carried its owners
to Harvard and "Oh, the sights

Board Walk at Atlantic City
and reviewing the battle of Gettysburg were two "high lights"
in their vacation.
Miss Vawter hid herself away
on a mountain-side in West Virginia and endeavored to acquire
the "gentle" arl of horse-back
riding. Unfortunately for our
French teacher, the horse resembled a camel to such an extent that Miss Vawter desisted
in despair.
Miss Barkley spent part of
her vacation at a house party on
Lake Michigan with members of
her musical society. She makes
us "turn green" with envy when
she mentions the cool, invigorating breezes enjoyed up there.
Miss Allen toured Canada and

Mrs. Thomas states thai her
vacation was filled with work.

The football meeting held in
Room 9 Wednesday proved very
successful. Seventy-three enthusiastic "would-be" players
were there. Out of these Mr.
Gorton selected twenty-two men
who commenced training at
once. He will select about twenty nun a day and try them out.
Mr. Gorton gave a talk on what
kind of men he wanted on the
team. Men with plenty of pep,
ambition and "stick-to-it-ive-
ness" are what Mr. Gorton
wants. His little speech inspired
the boys with enthusiasm and
jthe meeting ended with hopes
for a victorious season.
